keybord layout compatibility DE / EN

I have a Surface book 2 1834 with DE layout. There are some keys that do not work ok. Can I repalce it with a EN layout? or it has to be DE as the original one? Where can I find a guide on how to replace the keybord I dont know how to open the membrane and I understood the actual keybord is fixed with rivets? or should I order the entier palmrest?
